SMUG: SALS/MVLS User Group Meeting




Schenectady County Public Library McChesney Room

At this time, our priority is to discuss the new Polaris 3.5 upgrade. We are hoping people will share their experiences as they have grown accustomed to the new options. Michele Largeteau has kindly offered to have a show and tell regarding the new 3.5 patron photo feature using a web cam.

Other topics open for discussion if time allows include:

• Polaris Enhancement voting

• E-mail – The benefit of using this option for notices

Please r.s.v.p. to either Deb Callery  or co-chair Sally Gillich.

Privacy Rights in a Digital Age

Join the Director of ALA’s Office for Intellectual Freedom, Barbara Jones, to learn about a new ALA initiative that invites library users into a national conversation about privacy rights in a digital age.
